You kind sir, are doing gods work. Thank you for that.

And there are no alternatives to Nvidia?

They lacking in the AI race is an indicator that they value privacy more then competitors.

I pay for my internet connection.

Notice how many brands there are, produced all over the world.

The sound of a fan does it for me. Not the motor sound perse, but the blades of a powerful big fan cutting the wind. I’m addicted to it.

This is the way. Not that big of budget here. But if there’s something promising, I just try that for a month or so. But even then… at this moment I’m using z.ai models and those do the job. No need for anything else. So I’m staying until there is something new, same affordability, but a lot better. (Using a coding plan)

My first language is Dutch (Flemish). I didn’t even know there were three different dashes. The em dash is something I didn’t know exist, or were used, until llms came about. The hyphen is something we use when we make a list, that’s just the minus symbol right?

So em dashes are for pauses or highlighting things I guess? The en dash you explained in your reaction. Is there any other use for the hyphen except for making lists?

In a video of Hank Green, he interviewed an AI expert (if there even is such a thing), and he said that in the thinking part of the conversation, LLMs seems to use code language to communicate with itself, like in the usage and ordering of words, and such.

I think that there could be even more then a fingerprint in those messages.

It’s this video: https://youtu.be/5CKuiuc5cJM?is=9VQ1FCxY_X3eNm-b

Warning: They anthropomorphize a lot in this video, but I get it… the words exist, why not use them.

Yeah, the simulation is very simple. Align sails with wind direction for more speed. I did 14kn when irl the boat would have gone backwards.

I’m prly not the targeted audience, sailing for more then 30 years.

And a - switch

The keyboard can be changed in iOS.

No scaling required? Great!

Encoding my 40TB library to AV1 with software encoding without losing quality would take more then a year of not multiple years, consume lots of power while doing this, to save a little bit of storage. Granted, after a year of non stop encoding I would save a few TB of space. But it think it is cheaper to buy a new 20TB hard drive than the electricity used for the encoding.

I can’t wait for MEMS flip-dot displays.

I’m working on that. Nextcloud + MS Office 2024.

Lag was certainly a factor, but there were also weird behaviors like visual glitches and UI rendering issues. There were a number of intermittent problems that are hard to list specifically, as it’s been a few months since we tried it.

She is not a power user. Working inside a container running Windows just to display MS Word introduces complexity. separate file systems, etc. Sometimes the abstraction breaks, and you "fall out" of the app and end up staring at a Windows environment. It is very confusing for a layperson. On top of that, the RAM overhead was significant for her older laptop.

She is a kindergarten teacher. The last thing she can use is friction on her laptop.

We didn't try LibreOffice. I'm familiar with it, but the learning curve/transition is just too much friction. They also share a lot of documents with colleagues. I don't know the current state of compatibility between MS Office and LibreOffice, but I recall layouts breaking regularly. She also has a library of templates originally created in MS Office.

We have a 365 subscription. I guess that reduces the noise quite a lot.

The FPP license does allow local vm access. But if u access it remotely then u need a SA or VDA license. If this thread is legit: https://community.spiceworks.com/t/whats-wrong-or-not-legal-...

She only uses that laptop for MS Office. She did actually use the browser version for a few months, but even that is a significant downgrade compared to native apps.

MS Office and most popular multiplayer games are the 2 biggest hurdles for Linux adoption at the moment.

I tried this method for my wife. So she could use ms office in Linux. This isn’t an elegant solution. She’s back to windows 11. We tried…

Last time i checked a Windows 10 and 11 license does not permit running Windows in a virtualized environment.

That could have changed by now.

Since the war, we have a lot of Ukrainians at our Flemish school. We just make it work, no time for gatekeeping.

This is my favorite: https://youtu.be/eGQQWIbD-nM?si=CtQ-MPIxx8h3vYxH

This is a fantastic yt channel!

I don’t have a problem with the camera as much as with the system behind it.

And Belgium.

Yeah, this one. hussh is a clear winner.

Something tells me that you’re not looking for a keyboard hobby.

Was it ever anything else then a dream?
